Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was a painful book to read. I have to tell you though, I read it from first page to last in one sitting. It woke up memories in me from my own past. Dane’s experience is not something that anyone that has been through domestic violence wants to share openly. It’s not like having a conversation about the laundry or your son’s little league game. It’s an experience of shame, regret, and fear. And if you have managed to physically and mentally survive it you spend the rest of your life trying to keep that door shut. Out of the Shadows is a book everyone should read. Someone you know is going through this, and they think they are alone. I did.

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was an emotional story that was so heartfelt that it broke my heart. It is a story of pain and violence and being broken by what happens to those suffering through it. I applaud Theresa who has done a wonderful job on the writing of this subject and she has done such a great job of painting the picture which stands out and is so vivid. It is a very touching and thought-provoking story that you can’t help but want to reach out and help. Even though the story is fiction, as Theresa writes there is very little for those in the world who go through this and being too scared to own up to being less than what they perceive as being. It is a real-world problem and hopefully stories like these will help. Even after reading it I am still thinking about the story. Well done Theresa.

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt. This book was OMG amazing. It was so emotional and heartbreaking I caught myself bawling thru a lot of it. Its the story of Dane Johnson a man in his 30s who is living in literal hell. His wife Julie is a horrible, self centered, witch and she does nothing but use their 13 year old son Brady to hurt Dane even more. Dane’s main goal in life is to protect Brady from this horrific nightmare they are living. Brady is a strong, sweet, brave alas awkward teenage boy who has experienced way more than he should at 13 years old. Dane has tried to keep his world secret but it has come to light and now he has to live with that. Abby the guidance counselor at Brady’s school is trying to help them both but until Dane leaves the situation it won’t get better. I have never read a book about this subject and this one left me drained. I loved it but it is very emotional and once you start reading you won’t want to put it down! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Out of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was absolutely incredible. There are several triggers in this book if you have experienced or been a victim of domestic violence or assault. This book captured me from the first page. I couldn’t put it down. This was one of the most heartfelt and broken hearted stories I’ve read in a while. There are so many people that can relate to this novel, but also for the ones who can’t Sederholt does an incredible job painting that picture. This story I think was meant to spread a message, and what a message it is. 5/5 stars from me, I highly recommend this novel for not only the ones who have been through abuse before, but especially for the ones who haven’t. You never know what is going on until you’re moving through it in your own life.

I want to start off by saying I LOVE the quote on the last page. It’s by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He summed up the reason for this book perfectly. Sadly, domestic violence is a problem. This story tells an unusual tale of the male being the victim. It shows his shame and embarrassment as well his loss of what to do. He seems to flounder a lot just trying to survive every day. Luckily there are people out there to help it’s just getting the courage before it’s too late.
This is well written and it makes me think. It drew me in from the beginning and I was hooked until that last sentence. The characters seemed real and I was concerned for them. I have read others by this author and she seems to never disappoint me.

Out Of The Shadows By Theresa Sederholt ☆☆☆☆☆ This story has many avenues. It is a thriller, family, and domestic violence.
Dane Johnson is married and has one child. He has a secret that is about to come back and haunt his life. His most important plan is to get him and his son out alive. This story is very much about Domestic violence, and how to ask for help. This book is all about fighting for what is right.
Theresa Sederholt had written a very clear story. She went in with one thing, to show Men just like Women fear Domestic Violence. It is not always the women that get hurt. I fell in love with the bravery Dan and Brady showed. How they took control of their lives and did what needed to be done. They ASK FOR HELP! Theresa Sederholt touches on many aspects of domestic violence and how things change in the blink of an eye. Well done!

Out Of The Shadows By Theresa Sederholt 5 out of 5 stars
The story Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a book that I found both heartbreaking and emotional. It is a story that has moments when I wondered what was going to happen next. The character of Dane Johnson has a secret that he doesn’t want anyone else to know about. Dane is a man who is trying to keep a boy safe. His story and situation is one that is not always told or a lot of attention given to. He is a man who must find the strength to reach out for help. This book has moments where I found myself with tears in my eyes and other times wondering how things were going to end up. This is a story that had a powerful effect on my emotions, and I found myself thinking about it long after I had finished. Don’t miss out on a book about strength and courage. It is a story I would recommend reading.

I loved this book! I never regret picking up one of this author’s books. They are creative, engaging and written with heart. This is a short story about Dane who has a secret that is about to come out and the emotions he goes through as he protects the most important thing in his life. He is a strong character that I felt bad for in parts and the emotional roller coaster he took me on kept me turning pages. This story can be a trigger for some as it was for me but a comfort that you are not alone in the hell you lived in. I highly recommend reading this book as it is a book of strength and healing. You won’t regret picking it up!

Dane Johnson was like every other man in his thirties except for one very big secret. One that, for him, was so horrific, he was determined to keep it hidden. He thought it would never see the light of day—that is until today. His fragile world has crumbled around him. The past exposed for the world to see. Now the boy he tried so hard to keep safe might be gone forever.
This is a journey into one man’s hell, with the hope that it will help others find the strength to be able to say, “I need help.”
Theresa Sederholt was born and raised in Brooklyn New York. She is a graduate of Campbell University in North Carolina, with a degree in Criminal Justice. Theresa now resides in the mountains of North Carolina with her husband – a professional chef – and her two adorable dogs.
Experiencing life first-hand is what she does best. Believing she can do anything has put her in some crazy situations; babysitting a pig farm and cutting the top off a mini truck. Her list is A-to-Z and full of endless possibilities.
As a flight attendant (there’s that list again), she would make up stories about all of her passengers as they came and went. It seemed only natural to put pen-to-paper and see where these characters would take her.
A story that started as a single woman having a cup of coffee – while trying to make it through life – quickly grew into a complex world of romance, mystery, and murder. The Unraveled Trilogy was born.
This trilogy may have had humble beginnings, but in 2015 it gained prestigious recognition. Shattered Lies (book three in the trilogy) won Inks & Scratches Book Of The Year along with Cover Of The Year. BTS (Book Trailer Showcase) Book Reviews gave Shattered Lies The Red Carpet Book Award for Honorable Mention Rising Star Readers Choice. Theresa can humbly claim herself as an Award Winning Author.
Theresa’s beliefs are pretty simple:
There isn’t a luggage rack on the hearse.
Give a girl some Nutella and an espresso, then watch her change the world.
